crontab <filename> copies the contents of <filename> over the current user's crontab file, destroying what was there before. If you use this method to update your crontab, do it like this to preserve your existing set of cron commands: crontab -l >/tmp/crontab.me vi /tmp/crontab.me crontab /tmp/crontab.me -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 Unsolicited email advertisements are not welcome; any person sending such will be invoiced for telephone time used in downloading together with a £25 administration charge. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
